Art:December Doodles 2015

From YPPedia

The December Doodles is an event formerly run by Apollo. In 2012, the format changed from daily weekday events to twice-weekly due to time constraints; this format was continued in 2013, 2014, and 2015.

December and January (not) Daily Doodles 2015 [1] is the eleventh annual December Doodles event. It was hosted by Hera and Clotho, with one January Doodle hosted by Nemesis.

As in 2012 and 2013, Shiny Sun Points were awarded as additional prizes.

In hindsight, they realized that shouting "Bottoms up!" at the Inn's annual "Kilt Appreciation Night" was just asking for trouble.

Resolution: To remember that getting an injury in PP is a GOOD thing; getting one in R/L is a BAD thing!
Resolution: Stop being a chicken and go for the eggs! Take life by the yolk (yoke). You gotta break a few eggs...Kraken eggs, that is.
My Resolution-
To lose some pirate weight maybe via the loss of an arm, leg or eye during a SMH and to catch and tame a familiar of my own!
There will never be a sentence without arr this yarr!
Expand my collection of rabbits and wreak totally low-key havoc.
And more cowbell.
  • Doodliest Resolution:
This year, I resolve
To give all my pirate days
More doodle spirit
I resolve to stop worrying about getting Doodle glue in my hair and eat more Hera eggs because they're high in vitamin Pun and taste godly.
Actually figure out what I'm doing in BNav, instead of getting accidentally lucky when shooting.
